15. Introduction… Our project ‘Mobile camera based text detection and translation’ retrieves text from an images and converts it into text format, then it is translated to specified language. 3

17. In about 1965, earliest form of OCR was implemented in one of the first generation computersfor Airline Ticket stock.
18. Revolutionary in 1971, it was implemented in postal services OCR systems where reading and printing of routing bar code was done on the postal code.
19. In 1974, the modifications was done which would allow blind people to have a computer read text to them out loud.
41. Edge Detection 1. Convert Input image into Gray – scale image : Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B 2. Apply Blurring on image Y . 3. Find threshold value of Y2 = 9
42. Text feature filtering: 10 After Detecting Text Area, the Extraction of the character from the image is perform For Extraction & detection of the character the Edge detection, corner detection used.
49. Block Diagram Text Feature Filtering Captured Image Google Translator Match Image Retrieve Text Translate Text File Library Display Output Text Fig. b: Block diagram 12
51. Test & Results Font : Recognition rate does not vary as font changes Font size : As the size of text varies , Recognition rate will vary i.e. if the text is of larger size then recognition rate will be greater. 14
52. Test & Results Image quality : As image quality degraded recognition rate will decrease Recognition rate of character ‘A’ , ‘B’ , ‘L’ will be higher than recognition rate of character ‘y’ , ‘u’ , ‘c’. Fig. d: Test & result 15

56. Instant recognition of texts, street and e-mail addresses, links, and telephone numbers.
68. Conclusion This project which we have implemented is an Android Mobile OS based application which is web based real time mobile application for real-time text extraction, recognition and translation. 21
